Good news for local industry.
sorta good news... but who buys Russian autos?
Russina tractors are widely used in the agricultural sector. Also, Pakistan was interested in importing construction related machinery from Russia. I remember reading a while back that Pakistan was interested in importing close to six hundred bulldozers from Russia. This deal is much better, as Russia will actually start manufacturing heavy equipment in Pakistan..
^ yes outlaw has it right, it is less for consumer automobiles than land moving, industrial and agricultural autos.
this could ahve a good impact on pakistani industry and farming as well.
